What’s the cheapest way to get around in Da Nang: taxi or bus, and is bus route 6 still running?

Motorbike taxis in Da Nang average $0.5–2 per ride, making them one of the cheapest transport options if you're not traveling every day.

For a Ba Na Hills trip, one option is a comfortable minibus to the area, then local taxis to specific spots — typically 30,000–50,000 VND, up to about 100,000 VND for more remote locations. Traveling with an overnight stay is recommended as the more cost-optimal approach.

For a Ba Na Hills trip for two, a taxi costs around 300,000 VND (cheaper options possible), roughly $100 total for both — with no dependence on a group or bus schedule.

One traveler noted that taxis in Vietnam are relatively affordable, and it's simpler to just take a taxi than to figure out bus routes.

The newest traveler report says a round-trip bus ticket to Da Nang was so cheap that it cost less than one night in a hotel, making the bus both a transport and budget-saving option.

One estimate put a one-way taxi ride at around 300 RUB, so the bus was considered the cheaper option for budget travelers.

Travelers specifically checked whether public transport was available on this route, since taxis were seen as workable but not the most economical choice.

Bus route 6 was mentioned as a possible option, but some travelers were unsure whether it still operated as expected, so older route advice should be verified before relying on it.

Bus fare was discussed as being several times cheaper than a taxi ride of about 300 RUB, so checking bus routes first makes sense if you want to save money.
